Sr Technical Product Manager - Gemini

About QuEra Computing, Inc. Quantum computing is moving from "one day" to "day one." QuEra Computing is leading that transition. Founded in 2018 on breakthrough research from Harvard and MIT, QuEra builds neutral-atom quantum computers using a unique multi-zone architecture. The result: reconfigurable qubit connectivity, room-temperature operation, and a scalable path to fault-tolerant quantum computing, with dozens logical qubits already demonstrated. QuEra systems are operational today. The company delivered a 260-qubit quantum computer to Japan's AIST integrated with one of the world's most powerful supercomputers, earned selection for DARPA's Quantum Benchmarks Initiative, and offers its Aquila quantum computer on Amazon Braket. Its Gemini gate-based system extends these capabilities for enterprise and research applications. Backed by $230M from Google, NVIDIA, SoftBank, and others, QuEra partners with Dell Technologies, NVIDIA, Deloitte, and a 29-member Quantum Alliance. Headquartered in Boston with operations in Japan and the UK. Visit quera.com to learn more.

• QuEra is seeking a Senior Technical Product Manager to join the Quantum
• Computing Services team at our Boston headquarters. You will play a foundational
• role in shaping the company’s product strategy and processes
• and taking responsibility for the success of our products and services.
• The team’s mission is to transform neutral atom quantum computing technology
• into products and services offering cutting-edge quantum computing
• functionality, delivered both via the cloud and as managed on-premise solutions,
• and interfaced by users via a variety of in-house and third-party software.
• As the Senior TPM, you will partner closely with scientists, engineers,
• executives, and customers to define, communicate, and deliver the roadmap for
• quantum computing products and services. You will gather and synthesize both
• functional and non-functional requirements from customers, translating them into
• a clear and actionable product roadmap. Working closely with cross-functional
• teams, you will ensure that development efforts are both feasible and timely,
• delivering solutions that meet customer needs. In addition, you will drive
• project and program management activities to align with key milestones, ensuring
• execution stays on track and goals are achieved.
• In-depth exploration and a solid grasp of application algorithms for NISQ and
• early FTQC will be essential in shaping product features and roadmap priorities.
• This role calls for comprehensive technical expertise across the quantum
• computing stack—including hardware, control systems, compilers, quantum error
• correction, and algorithmic software. Given the product’s early stage, advancing
• both the maturity and stability of the technology is paramount. Success will
• require the ability to navigate complex trade-offs, balancing the push for rapid
• feature development with the need to ensure system robustness and reliability.
• Year 1-2: Define, deliver, and execute a roadmap of products and services
• built on QuEra’s Gemini-class platform, enabling customers to access and
• develop on QuEra’s first-generation gate-based systems. Manage scope and
• timelines to meet both functional and non-functional requirements, ensuring a
• high level of customer satisfaction. Through successful product development,
• demonstrate QuEra’s QPU as the leading choice for executing algorithms in
• select, high-impact use cases. Bloqade, QuEra’s open-source software
• for creating, simulating and executing quantum program, will be a core part
• of the offerings and will require product management in its own right,
• as part of the role’s scope.
• Year 2-3: Extend this roadmap to QuEra’s next generation, QEC QPU platform,
• supporting continuous supply of qubits, and logical, error-corrected quantum
• computation. This roadmap needs to be aligned with our long-term technical
• roadmap for 2027 and 2029.
• In parallel, you will establish and operate a product management process to
• synthesize, negotiate, document, and track requirements across internal and
• external stakeholders.
• As Senior Technical Product Manager, you will be expected to lead and drive the
• Define and articulate the product vision and roadmap for QuEra’s quantum
• computing services (cloud-based and on-premise), ensuring alignment with
• company strategy and customer needs.
• Gather and synthesize requirements from physicists, engineers, application
• developers, and customers across hardware, software, and operational
• domains.
• Translate technical requirements into actionable deliverables, including
• structured product specifications, prioritized backlogs, and feature
• timelines.
• Collaborate with engineering and R&D teams to deliver against specifications
• and milestones, balancing competing priorities, resource constraints, and
• technical uncertainties.
• Lead product launch planning and execution, including customer adoption
• strategies, success metrics, and go-to-market support for new systems and
• services.
• Establish, operate, and continuously refine product management processes,
• ensuring effective communication, decision-making, and execution across the
• company.
• Collaborate with application developers and scientific partners on pilot
• projects, benchmarking efforts, and use-case validation.
• Incorporate customer feedback and market insights into technical development
• and roadmap prioritization.
• Support quality assurance, system integration, and operational readiness,
• ensuring reliable delivery of products and services.
• Contribute to business development activities, including customer demos, RFP
• responses, and strategic partnerships that expand QuEra’s market presence.

Required

• Proven experience (7+ years) in product management or technical leadership
• roles, ideally in deep-tech fields (quantum computing, HPC, semiconductors,
• complex hardware/software systems).
• the quantum computing stack—from hardware and control systems to compilers,
• quantum error correction, and algorithmic software.
• Advanced degree in physics, engineering, or computer science.
• Demonstrated success building and managing roadmaps that bridge science,
• engineering, and business needs.
• Ability to succinctly capture requirements and convert them into actionable
• specifications and structured backlogs.
• prototyping to deployment and support.
• Proven success in project and program management, balancing scope, timelines,

Preferred

• Proficiency with product management tools (e.g., Atlassian suite, Aha!) and
• agile methodologies.
• Direct experience in quantum computing research, product development, or
• application algorithms (NISQ and early FTQC).
• Familiarity with cloud-based services, managed infrastructure offerings, and
• enterprise adoption of emerging technologies.
• Experience supporting customer-facing activities such as pilot projects,
• benchmarking, RFPs, and strategic partnerships.
